Disaster

A full--blown disaster

This will happen in your life time; you will walk headlong into a

maelstrom of adversity. Without Bible doctrine in your soul, you

will be caught short and fall apart. On the other hand, if you have

 persisted in learning doctrine, you will never need a pastor or any-

one else to hover over you to utter platitudes or to quote Scripture

which you could not possibly assimilate under pressure. With doc-

toctrine in your soul, you will be spiritually self-sustaining; you will

have inner resources necessary to meet any exigency of life.

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

1 Peter 5:7

He Will Not Tarry

For yet a little while, he that shall come will come 

and will not tarry (Heb. 10:37).

"For yet a little while--how short, how short" (literally) is

an excerpt from Isaiah 26:20. The conjunctive particle GAR

expresses both explanation and continuation through docu--

mentation from the Old Testament Scriptures. While Isaiah's

prophecy pertained to the Second Advent of Christ, the appli-

cation concerns the brevity of our time on earth and the short-

ness of the dispensation which will terminate with the Rapture

of the Church.

God has allotted to each of us a certain amount of time on

earth after salvation.Whatever length it is may seem by human

standards-- is a short span in the light of  eternity.

Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right.
Psalm 97:11

The High Ground

Perseverance

The  Latin poet, Horace, understood and proclaimed the

axiom of perseverance: "Let him proceed as he began, and 

be consistent with himself."

You  began by listening to doctrine; if you are consistent

with yourself, you will persevere until you take that high

ground!

The Apostle Paul affirmed the principle of perseverance

in the Epistle to the Colossians:

According as you have received to yourself Christ Jesus

the Lord, so Keep Walking in Him: having been rooted 

and constantly being built up in Him, being stabilized by 

means of doctrine in the manner that you have been taught,

over flowing with thanksgiving.

(expanded Trans)  Col. 2: 6,7

Why do we need training of Bible on a consistent basis ?

So that you will be adequately prepared. We are in a full-

blown disaster; we are walking headlong into a maelstrom of 

adversity in this nation Without Bible doctrine in our soul

 we will be caught short and fall apart.

 

Knowledge

The Bible

When the Bible is taught exegetically, basic doctrine will

often be interspersed with advanced concepts. This is ad--

vantageous in that each passage contains information for

every believer, regardless of his spiritual stage of growth.

No believer is too ignorant or too academically deficient

to learn Bible doctrine----if he will stick with it!

One Body----Its Life

God set the members every one of them in the body,

as it hath pleased him.

1 Corinthians 12:18

There is a Process

Process of Learning

During the learning process, however, you will encounter

doctrine which is beyond your comprehension. Do not be

discouraged! Persistence will enable you to recognize that

currently obscure doctrine will become clear when you have

established the necessary frame of reference. This  principle 

is readily discerned in the human realm, for in academic cat-

egories  you begin   with simple,   basic precepts and progress

from the known to the unknown. Once fundamentals are mastered,

you are able to proceed to more advanced spheres of knowledge.

If you embrace the way God does things, there are 

wonderful payoffs.

Romans 2:10

Daily Exposure

Endurance

Paul stressed the principle of endurance and self-discipline

in his epistle to the Corinthians when he wrote: "I keep un-

der  my body, and bring it into subjection... lest I...should be

disqualified" (1 Cor. 9:27). You must be challenged to function

under GAP daily, no matter what distractions arise in your life,

no matter what circumstances or people may deter you. The

grace apparatus for perception belongs to every believer, but it

 functions only through the consistent exposure to doctrine and

the tenacity to learn it.

We Must Press on

GAR

The explanatory use of the particle GAR (for) introduces

an explanation of why we are here and how we can avoid

defeat by exploiting the victory that God intended for us

to have. We live in a wonderful country under the laws of

divine establishment; we enjoy all the freedoms that accrue

from observing these laws; and we are privileged to believe

in Jesus Christ, to take in Bible doctrine and to grow in grace

without persecution by our government.

Only Trust Him

Come, every soul by sin oppressed

There's mercy with the Lord.

And He will surely give you rest

By trusting in His Word.

Victory

Faithful 

Intake of Bible doctrine

Therefore, do not throw away as worthless your

confidence ( in doctrine), which keeps having rich

(great) distribution of materialistic blessing (namely,

super-grace blessing) (expanded trans., 

Heb. 10:35).

No Christian need ever meet his Waterloo in the devil's

world! He need but exploit the strategic victory of the 

Cross by following the divine directives.

For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done

the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
